why didn't she quit before the election if she knew she was leaving? >> one of the questions we wanted to ask her. and also ask her, how early did she know she'd be leaving? she filed paper work with the house that really within nine days after the election she was already in talks to take over this million and a half dollar job. her chief of staff told us the job opportunity just popped up out of the blue. seems remarkable, especially when you also see that the national rural electric cooperative has been the congresswoman's biggest single campaign donor contributing $72,000 to her and her husband over the years and another 20 grand just to the congresswoman political action committee. >> so now they're going to actually pay her a lot more than that. in fact, a lot more than she would make if she stayed in congress, right? that's way more than her salary. >> it is a major pay boost, we think. we don't know the exact figures yet. but as a member of congress, she would be paid $174,000 a year. that's a lot, of course, for a lot of us. while we don't kno
